Aircraft servicing

Adria Airways Tehnika company is responsible for the maintenance of aircraft at Jože Pučnik Airport and also for their external appearance. Maintenance of passenger aircraft consists of so-called line and base maintenance. In line maintenance during regular flights in the summer, the airport provides maintenance services for airline providers, including Adria Airways. In base maintenance technicians are carrying out extensive aircraft checks and, if necessary, maintenance. Technicians of the company Adria Airways Tehnika use the MSP in the implementation of line maintenance at the airports of Ljubljana, Pristina and Lodž.

A work order completed by technicians ensures that all data on the performed operation is monitored, including confirmations of the crew with signatures on tablets. After the completion of works, electronic copies of completed work orders are sent to the addresses of the client and Adria Airways Tehnika. By using MSP, the company wants to further improve the traceability of performed tasks and automate the accounting of provided services. “The introduction of a mobile service platform had an immediate impact on business. We detected an increase in misleading interventions, that are now entered immediately and not forgotten. As a custodian of the solution, I am pleased that the MSP in the field is operating faultlessly, “said Dragan Ignjić, IT administrator at Adria Airways Tehnika.

Maintenance of ATMs

At the beginning of the year, the Printec – Printec SI Group has started using the MSP application which provides financial institutions and international retail chains with high-tech solutions and services. It also takes care, for example, of the maintenance and servicing of ATMs and commercial equipment. In order to integrate the data more effectively, reduce paperwork orders and administrative work on the field, MSP solution was introduced in January. It works in a comprehensive way because on the basis of the request for field intervention, the coordinator in the back-end office opens a work order, which the engineer in charge of performing the service receives on his PDA into the MSP application.

The back-end office shall assign tasks in accordance with the contractual obligations to each customer. The engineer records on the work order the procedure of tasks or equipment, the consumption of material and the consumed time and any additional costs. The customer signs the order on the PDA in the MSP application.

After the service is completed, the application creates a PDF record of a service order that the customer can receive if he so wishes via e-mail. Communication with the back-end office is also established, and the completed service order is also recorded in the back-end system. “After three quarters of the year, the effects on business are obvious and very positive. One of the immediate positive effects of the introduction of the MSP application in the work of technicians is the replacement of paperwork orders on the field and the reduction of the administrative work of technicians. It is also faster to resolve any possible complications, since the service is immediately recorded in our back-end system, and we also gain feedback from the field much faster, which greatly eases the coordination and operation of the back-end office as well as the transmission of information to the final customer, “notes Katarina Pečar, an analyst at the company Printec SI.
